We came to Portal Park today with my brother & his 2 kids. Really fun time! The park had plenty of…read moreshade with lots of big trees. That helped a LOT as today was a warm afternoon. This park is very cute & fun! We arrived around 2 pm so there was street parking available. Around 3 pm quite a few other families started showing up with their kids. I saw a few birthday parties & BBQ's. I would definitely recommend this park for families nearby and such. My niece (4 years old) and nephew (2 years old) both had a really fun time playing on the swings and slides. The shade is great, and there are also picnic tables.

There were a couple basketball courses as well as a community center, and then a little wraparound playground with a secret passageway into the neighborhood around the backside. They also had grass and I appreciated the old-fashioned/all-inclusive place structures for children with access needs. They also have a refill water bottle station and clean restrooms so I was appreciative of that as well. I'm definitely coming back on a Friday for the farmers market!!

Now I understand that parks close at night but when they hold events where you are paying for your kid to be at that event (say ballet class or a sports event) I expect the bathroom to be available to them. Also the signage for the restrooms are inside the door so when they are closed and locked you can't tell that there is a restroom.

This park has been neglected! Santa Clara should be ashamed with all the corporate tax money they…read moreare getting. They spend so much more money on other parks in the city and this one has been neglected for many years. Bathroom = filthy, play structure = disaster. But the tennis and basketball courts are nice. The fields and grass areas are nice with ample shade from the trees. There's also EV charging. The play structure though is the worst in the city.

Would you come to a picnic with 23 women?…read more September 11, 2021, 20th anniversary of 9/11. Came here with wife to attend American Association of University Women (AAUW.org) "Welcome Back" picnic, with nonmembers welcome. Waited in our car for openings in the parking lot, as a girls soccer game finishing up on the twin diamond baseball fields. Parking lot right in front of recreation center with restrooms. 150 yard walk from restrooms to the reserved picnic area, critical knowledge for coffee drinking senior women. Passed by both a toddler playground with slides and animal riding statues, plus a child playground with a double 12' slide, and tree house, with swings. Eight picnic tables reserved for the fully vaccinated. Had no trouble talking conversation with the ladies, as had known many from the AAUW supper club meetings. AAUW president Adrienne F. sitting right across the table in front of me, and wife, ex president, to my side, making sure I behaved. Everyone expected to bring own plate and utensils, but wife had neglected to bring me one. Program Development Officer Autumn B came to the rescue with a spare plate and fork, before I could eat with my fingers directly from the serving bowl. Ended up sitting on the bench on the handles of what I thought was my wife's purse, until someone started pulling on it. Purse owner wasn't about to grope my butt to get her purse! At least they had white table cloths, as I remember league tennis lunches, only the women's teams and not the men's teams had table cloths. Here they not only used eight table cloths, but they were freshly laundry cleaned and ironed. And I have never ironed a table cloth in my life. End of the meal, after all the hot air speeches, returned the plate, to Autumn B, looking like it was licked clean. What manners? Wife neglected to bring napkins. Somebody gave me a clean napkin, as otherwise I was about to wipe my mouth off on the white table cloths. Would you come to a picnic with 23 women? Yes? How about 23 women aged 60+? 22 male spouses decided they would rather be elsewhere.

This is a neighborhood park in Cupertino that is super well maintained and beautiful. Lots of shaded areas to put up a picnic or make a reservation for some tables and BBQ to bring out a bunch of family and friends for a get together. It's a great place to stroll and get into group games, bring the kids, or have picnics. If you intend on long walking, either plan on many multiple trips around the park or choose a better destination to get in the miles.

It's a medium sized park with lots of grassy fields to roll around and/or picnic. There are some concrete pathways, great for walking or jogging, though again, the park's not that big, so multiple laps are more fitting for a good run. Skates and skateboards are not allowed according to the signs. It's mostly flat land throughout the park, not too hilly and a good amount of trees. In fact there's a whole shaded section with numerous picnic tables and seating, and multiple bbq grills, the area looking almost like a beautiful mini forest at one corner of the park. There are also two play structures, one for younger kids/toddlers and the other for older kids... or grown-ups?!? Seriously, I would enjoy my time on the swings (I love parks that have classic swings!). They also have toddlers swings in the little kid playground. The restroom is conveniently located in between the picnic area and playground area, the building wall covered with lovely colorful artwork. This park is on the simpler side, but that's part of the charm IMO, it's spacious and clean, with lots of greenery, and it's set in a safe and inviting neighborhood. It has everything you would need for a quiet relaxing outing or lively family gathering, and none of the bells and whistles.

This use to be a quiet peaceful park. Now all you can hear is the pickleball court!!…read more If you want to have a birthday party or event here don't! The pickleball courts are right next to the bbq's and tables and that's all you will hear. The noise pads that were suppose to dampen the sound actually made the court louder and bolder. The sound is not covered on top only on the sides and have been poorly installed. The residents that live near the court are pissed because all you can hear is the pickleball noise inside their homes. You can't go outside without having a headache now. Soccer, volleyball, baseball, and other sports do not penetrate into your home! Pickleball does even with all the doors and windows shut in your home. Not enough is being done to litigate sound reduction. There quality of life has juristically changed for many residents and people who come to the park daily. Requesting permanent removal of the Saratoga pickle ball court for everyone's sanity. Thank you for listening.
